It is right and proper that we should
have
our thoughts today on the celebration of the birth of
Jesus. Open up the door of your heart for he is
knocking and we are free to say come in or not. Mary allowed him into her life and in a unique manner
because
she became his mother. There may be many, too many, who shut God
out of their lives and say No when he knocks. He himself is a generous host; he opens his door to us,
always
ready to welcome us, and when we enter his world he has gifts, priceless
gifts, for each one of us. Whichever way we think about it, either
the
door of your heart and your cry to him to come in, or whether you think of
his door inviting us, welcoming us to enter into his abode, Mary is always
an
example, because she welcomed him into her life with those words: 93Be it
done
unto me according to thy word.92
Her
saying yes to God, brought her Son - his Son - into our
world. So this is a day to deepen our faith in
the
fact that Jesus Christ, true God and true man, was conceived by the power
of
the Holy Spirit. |
